Use of template: Contact information profile picture

Updated on

You can change the contact information picture quite easily! You can also do this for your colleagues (you can read it here) as long as they have added a profile picture, no profile picture? Then leave the Hanze logo as is.

  • You need to upload a profile picture to Brightspace account
  • Copy the profile image link
  • Edit the contact information image URL to the one you just copied

Below are step by step instructions with screenshots as well as a video at the bottom of the page.

Upload profile picture

Click on your name on the top right and select Profile

Click on Change Picture and upload by selecting My Computer. Then you can click on Save and Close

It is recommended you upload a square image, so your profile picture size is square (ex: 200x200, 100x100, 64x64)

Update contact information template

Right click on your profile picture image and click on Copy Image Link

Open and edit the contact information page within your course, and click on the hanze logo then right click to select Image
